Abstract:

Low production balance rate was witnessed due to backlog, waiting and bottleneck in the production process of one piece flow garment assembly line. This research studies on the simulation optimization of one-piece flow T-shirt assembly line using Flexsim software. The simulation optimization model was established for T-shirt as an example using Flexsim taking the process flow into consideration. Through function analysis, it was possible to modify the operations in the operation line and run the simulation cycle test repeatedly. The establishment of the simulation optimization reduced severity of the bottle-neck problem, and the production balance rate was increased significantly from 80.4% to 95.3%. At the same time, the feasibility of Flexsim simulation in the production process for different clothing pipelines was verified to be applicable.

Key words: T-shirts, Flexsim software, one-piece flow garment assembly line, production balance rate
